In today\\u2019s episode, I chat with Farzana Nayani (she/hers) a recognized Diversity, Equity & Inclusion specialist, business & strategy coach and international keynote speaker.\\xa0

Farzana, based in LA, has worked with Fortune 500 corporations, public agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, and non-profit organizations as a consultant and trainer on diversity and inclusion, intercultural communication, supplier diversity, and employee engagement. Her advisory work with Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), entrepreneurship, and racial equity & inclusion has taken her to engagements across North America, from the White House to Silicon Valley.\\xa0

Farzana\\u2019s expertise has been featured in media outlets such as The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, DiversityInc, Parents magazine, NPR, the Washington Post, Marie Claire, and the LA Times. Her book Raising Multiracial Children: Tools for Nurturing Identity in a Racialized World was released in 2020, and her highly anticipated book The Power of Employee Resource Groups: How People Create Authentic Change was recently released in June 2022.\\xa0

It was a good jumping-off point for our discussion. What is the purpose of Employee Resource Groups? Where do they go wrong? And how can organizations harness them to realize more engaging, committed workforces?

It was such a pleasure reconnecting with Farzana. We had a lot of fun. And I hope you enjoy it.\\xa0
